ABSTRACT

In the era of globalization, life became very easier and comfortable for some people. And due to the era of rat race life became very faster for people. So they couldnâ€™t attain the daily activities properly. This changed lifestyle definitely affects the health of the people. Ayurveda is a life science, based on firm principles, which can never be challenged. But violating these principles gives rise to various diseases. With the march of time, most of dietary habits, social structure, life style, and environment have been changing. Due to pattern of daily routine the person is being enforced to undergo 'Hetu- Sevanam'. Occurrence of Vatarakata on large scale is one of the outcomes of this modification. It is commonest among acute as well as chronic inflammatory joint disease. In which joint become painful, swollen and stiff. It is the disease if not treated properly increases the incidence of disabled or crippled persons, leading to loss of man power. It is debilitating disease in view of its chronicity and complications. Ayurveda has given Dinacharya&Rutucharya, which should be followed by every individual. But due to todayâ€™s changed life style, it is not possible to follow the above. Things like night shifts, disturbed circadian rhythm, improper diet, fast food, excessive traveling leads to dushti of Vatadosha&Raktadhatu.Thesedushtadoshas - dhatussammurchana leads to disease like VATARAKTA. Considering the clinical presentation and textual references of the disease it can be easily correlated with 'Gout' explained in modern medicine. Gout is systemic skeletal disease having group of disorders of purine metabolism characterised by recurrent paroxysmal attacks of acute inflammatoryarthritis usually affecting a single peripheral joint further may cause chronic degenerative changes in the affected joint. Today various medications from various pathies are available for treatment of Vatarakta. Definitely allopathic system of medicine has got an important role to play in overcoming agony of pain, restricted movement and disability caused by the articular diseases, but the use of such medicines comes with tremendous side effects. Hence the management of this disease is merely insufficient in other systems of medicine and patients are continuously looking with a hope towards Ayurveda to overcome this challenge, thatâ€™s where Ayurvedic treatment has proved its upper hand.
